URL Filter options not showing up like in the cookbook

Hi, 

 

I was trying to set an exception to one of the FortiGuard category based filters, some of the options that show up in the cookbook are not on my page. specifically under Status URL filter the URL Filter and Content Filter Options are missing. They show up in this document, https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/6.2.4/cookbook/725397/web-content-filter, but all I see is "Block invalid URLs" and "Block Malicious URLs discovered by ForiSandbox".

 

Anyone have any idea why?  I'm on FOrtiOS version 6.2.4

 

Thanks.

    That's abnormal, checked with FortiOS 6.2.5 and it does appear as should. Have you tried another browser ?

    Even on the default 15 days evaluation license with FortiGuard Categories disabled, this Static URL Filter appears wholly.

    So kind of embarrassing that I didn't think to check and try that but yes the menu showed up properly when I tried it on a different browser on a different machine. 

     

    Cleared all the browsing data on the PC I had been using and now it shows up properly. 

     

    Kind of weird it happened that way but hey, I'm just glad the fix was easy. 

     

    Thanks.
